Craig Russell

Hi, It’s Craig Russell, host of The Afternoon Hustle here on Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR!
I have worked in places all over Michigan, but that’s not important. I’m here in West Michigan now, eatin' Fred's Pizza (yum!) buying my milk at Meijer, and playing Classic Hits of the 60's 70's and 80's FOR YOU!
Call, email or Facebook the show and be part of the fun!

I grew up in the Kalamazoo area and played ball until my sophomore year of high school.

I, ahem, blew out my knee and couldn't run anymore. That's it. Just as I was graduating, I heard about this kid playing American Legion ball named Jeter. Was gonna be a big leaguer some day. While I Heard that a lot, I didn't think anything of it.

Thanks to Hannah Saunders from WZZM TV 13. She posted this picture on her Facebook page. If you think it seems cold and snowy this December, you are right. It doesn't just seem cold and snowy. it really IS!

Because there isn't enough things on the internet to take your time, here is a personality test from a website called "IPersonic". It takes your response to a few simple groups of statements and gives you your personality. Neat!

Looking for a perfect gift for the beer lover in your life? We DO live in Beer City USA remember? I was watching this show on the DIY network last night and the show "I Want That" The show highlights high end products for around the house. Usually all the products are a little out of my price range or my lack of snobbyness.

Damn Jimmy V Foundation. They used to use sports figures to recite the famous Jim Valvano speech from the ESPYS. Now they are using kids and parents of kids with cancer. I hate crying at TV commercials. Maybe it's because I'm tired. Maybe it's because like so many cancer has touched my family.

With my birthday is being right around the Christmas holiday, seeing giant Christmas light displays is right up my alley.

As a Kalamazoo native, I grew fond of Christmas Card Lane on Lauderdale Street. Everyone put larger-than-life Christmas cards in their front yards with lights and some automated twinkling lights shows. It really got you into the season.

With that in mind, I have compiled a list of the top three places in Grand Rapids to see cool Christmas light displays!

I saw this on the crawl of Good Morning America, and thought easy it would be New York or New Jersey. Maybe it's just the stereotype I have of those states. Rough, gruff, bombastic people with few manners and just willing to blurt out whatever. Nope. New Jersey is in the Top 5, but the state that lets the foul language fly the most?

WITH LEGOS!!! This where the internet shines! Sure you can buy all kinds of stuff, stay up to date with news, sports and weather, and even listen to you favorite radio station online, but cool you tube videos take the cake!
